Lakers Rumors: Jeanie Buss urged Magic Johnson to take Lonzo Ball, not De’Aaron Fox

Los Angeles Lakers rumors have dominated headlines with the NBA Trade Deadline passing on Thursday afternoon. However, a recent rumor involving the purple and gold goes back to the 2017 NBA Draft.

Ever since the Los Angeles Lakers drafted Lonzo Ball in 2017, the scrutiny has been an ongoing thing. If Ball has a good night, fans are silent. However, if he has a bad performance the next time out, folks are constantly curious as to whether President of Basketball Operations Magic Johnson made the right choice.

Certainly, that has been part of the issue in terms of Ball.
